Posting text-only content on LinkedIn generates more reach and engagement compared to videos or graphics.
Engaging in conversations by leaving comments on prospects' posts is more effective than sending direct messages or connection requests.
Leveraging the mentioned feature on LinkedIn can grab the attention of prospects without directly reaching out to them.
Sales Navigator can be a valuable tool for tracking and finding prospects, but it should be used in conjunction with understanding the fundamentals of LinkedIn.
Using AI tools like ChatGPT can help generate ideas for comments and responses to prospects' posts.
Authentic engagement and conversations with prospects are more important than trying to cheat the algorithm or use specific posting techniques.

In this episode, we discuss buying a franchise with Josh Dubois. Most people consider business ownership to replace income or build generational wealth. Franchising fast-tracks starting a business by providing systems and resources. Josh recommends exploring options over 1-2 months without pressure to decide. He outlines the process of researching franchises, speaking with owners, reviewing financials, and managing expectations.

This lifestyle change inspired Josh to pursue business ownership before becoming a franchise broker to help others without promoting any specific franchise.

Key takeaways
Influence is a natural part of human interaction, and understanding how to effectively communicate can make a significant difference in getting others to say yes.
Building relationships and genuinely liking the people you are trying to influence is the foundation for successful persuasion.
Reciprocity is a powerful principle of influence, and giving back to others can create a sense of obligation and increase the likelihood of them saying yes.
Authority and social proof are important factors in influencing others. Demonstrating expertise and providing examples of others who have benefited from your solution can increase trust and credibility.
The principle of commitment and consistency highlights the importance of asking questions rather than telling people what to do. By getting others to commit to small actions, they are more likely to follow through and say yes to larger requests.
Scarcity can create a sense of urgency and increase the perceived value of what you are offering. Highlighting what someone might lose by not taking action can be more persuasive than focusing on what they might gain.
